Will any companies in atlanta hire felons?

My son has been to several emplyment staffing agencies and companies seeking employment after being laid off. He has not been unsuccessful in finding a job due to his criminal background. Are there any agencies or companies in the Atlanta, GA area that will hire felons?

Hi!

To find companies hiring felons in your area, go to http://www.governmen... and find your local employment office.

They should be able to put you on the right track to finding a job. I've also heard that United Way and the Salvation Army will employ those with felony records.

Good luck!

My husband is going through the same exact thing. We live in Clayton County. He is 34 with a felony record. He is currently employed, however, it's for an employer than only pay on a commission base. He is also considered an independent contractor. The pay barely pays our utility bills. I wish I could offer some insight, however, it seems sort of washing dishes or being at a car wash, Atlanta is really a hopeless place for a good man with a mistake in his past to start fresh. Although, the Army national guard and the regular Army will accept felons (of certain crimes). We arecurrently searching daily to find new opportunities, if we happen to find something, I will definitely post it for you. I wish you the best.
